Finally! Real Downloadable Content
Bungie just announced that next Monday will be the day they release four new maps for Halo 2 Multiplayer. Two will be free and two will cost money. After a few months, the for-pay maps will become free as well. I love this model and plan to buy them, if for nothing else but to support Bungie. I'm hoping this will go over so well that more studios will consider a TV model for distribution. It will keep games alive, and fresh longer, rather than the easily disposable content we create now.
For info... Bungie.net

It will keep engines alive longer too, lessening the "reinventing the camera" problem. I think that I'll probably buy the maps too, in support of the business model.
It's interesting to note that the new Xbox may not have a hard-drive, which would make this sort of thing harder. On the other hand, they do keep saying that they want to establish these "micro-economies." Hmmm... I guess we'll see.
